Powers

Though it has been suggested that she had a latent Glossary:M#mutant, mutant ability to affect probability fields around her ("jinxing"), the Black Cat's original "bad luck" powers were nothing more than meticulously planned stunts, executed with the aid of her exceptional gymnastics and unarmed combat skills. Later seeking power to enable her to be a true partner to her lover, Spider-Man, she made a secret deal with the Kingpin, whose scientists imbued her with a genuine "bad luck" power. This power enabled her subliminally and Glossary:P#psionic, psionically to affect probability fields, causing improbable, but not impossible, "unlucky" events to occur to enemies within her line of sight.After Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange), Dr. Strange removed the jinx Spider-Man contracted, the Cat's powers Glossary:M#mutate, mutated, leaving her absent the bad luck ability, but with infrared vision, Glossary:S#superhuman, superhuman balance and agility, and long extensible claws.After exposure to the Chameleon, Chameleon's device from the Tinkerer, used to remove Spider-Man's powers, Felicia lost all her superhuman abilities as well. She has since relied upon the Tinkerer's high-tech inventions to support her feline antics. Black Cat's costume also contains micro-servos, which enhances her strength such that she is able to lift 800 lbs optimally. The Tinkerer has also provided her with metal mesh wired gloves with sensors to trigger extension of claws, agility-boosting implants and interaural balance compensators.more
